As governments and industry accelerate investment in more sustainable infrastructure, the Greener Infrastructure Conference has announced a strategic partnership with the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC), reinforcing its position as Australia’s national forum for practical, sustainable infrastructure delivery.
Taking place on 28–29 October 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the conference will bring together government, asset owners, contractors, engineers, procurement leaders, sustainability professionals and material innovators to explore the policies, partnerships and innovations shaping the future of infrastructure.
The partnership with ISC reflects a shared commitment to accelerating the adoption of circular economy principles, increasing the use of recycled and low-carbon materials, and supporting the delivery of more sustainable infrastructure outcomes across Australia.
The conference will feature leading voices from industry and government, sharing practical case studies and strategies on topics including sustainable procurement, circular procurement, embodied carbon, recycled content, material innovation, infrastructure sustainability ratings and the technologies transforming the sector.
Sherri Pearson, Exhibition Director of the Greener Infrastructure Conference, said the partnership marks an important milestone for the conference as it expands into a national platform.
“Australia’s infrastructure sector is undergoing significant change, with sustainability and circular economy principles now central to project delivery. Our partnership with the Infrastructure Sustainability Council ensures the conference reflects the conversations the industry needs to be having today while providing practical insights that attendees can apply tomorrow.”
Toby Kent, CEO, Infrastructure Sustainability Council, said the partnership demonstrates a shared commitment to industry collaboration.
“ Collaboration is critical to accelerating sustainability outcomes, generally and particularly in relationship to infrastructure”, Kent says. “This partnership brings together the organisations, expertise and solutions needed to embed sustainability into projects at scale, and to demonstrate what good looks like across the industry.”
Held alongside Waste Expo Australia, the Greener Infrastructure Conference creates a unique opportunity to connect the infrastructure sector with Australia’s waste, recycling and resource recovery industries, strengthening the links needed to support a thriving circular economy and create stronger end markets for recovered materials.
With Australia’s infrastructure pipeline continuing to evolve, the conference provides a timely platform for professionals to gain practical insights, explore emerging technologies and build the partnerships that will shape the next generation of sustainable infrastructure projects.
